Fish Pie

January 17, 2013 By Lokness 9 Comments

This Fish Pie is one of my favorite comfort dishes! Creamy mashed potatoes with sweet vegetables, savory cod & crispy cheese topping. You can serve this as a main dish with a side salad.

I stumbled upon this fish pie recipe online a while back. I just love it! It is like a shepherd’s pie, but with fish. I searched around online and found out that fish pie is a traditional British dish. Although this recipe is not completely the same as the original one. This is absolutely delicious. Flakey fish with creamy mashed potatoes and sweet vegetables all in one dish. Hope you will like this!

Ingredients

  • 5 medium red potatoes (peeled and halved)
  • ¾ pound cod (cut into ½-inch cubes)
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus ½ tablespoon for vegetables
  • ½ yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 carrot (cut into pea-sized)
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • dash of paprika
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • salt
  • ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium pot with cold water, put in the potatoes and make sure the water cover the potatoes completely. Season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water starts to boil, simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 35 – 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (177˚C).
  • Meanwhile, combine the cod with the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a medium pan over medium heat, warm up the olive oil and ½ tablespoon butter. Add the onions and carrots and cook until the onions are softened. Stir in the peas. Add the cod and cook through. While cooking the fish, break and flake 1/3 of them.
  • When the potatoes are ready, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mashed the potatoes with a masher or big spoon until there is no lump. Stir in the milk and 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper. Add a dash of paprika. Mix well. The mashed potatoes should be thicker than normal.
  • Put the fish mixture to the mashed potatoes. Add parsley. Gently mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper to your own taste. Transfer to your choice of casserole dish. Top with parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes or bake in the broiler for 2 – 4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the color is golden brown. Cool a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. Cod is my favorite fish, so I picked that. But you can use any fish you like.
  2. I love to have a lot of fish in this dish, but you can use just ½ pound.
  3. Leftover can be stored in an airtight container. You can either reheat in microwave or transfer to an oven-safe container and bake in 325˚F (165˚C) oven for 15 minutes.

    This looks really delicious – I like the idea of individual dishes. I made fish pie today and used celeriac instead of potato for the mashed topping – it was pretty good 🙂

      I love individual dishes! They are cute and great portion control.
      Oh celery root! Although I have heard of it many times, I haven’t tried it yet. Got to try that soon.

    This recipe sounds quite good, if it possible to steam instead of bake or bake in a small toast oven.

      You can skip the baking part. Everything is cooked already, so the baking is not really necessary. It is just a good way to melt the cheese. Enjoy.

        The only cheese that I used is Parmesan. I usually pick grated Parmesan, but you can also use shredded one too.

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & chewy laminated croissant bun w/ the taste of cinnamon & orange zest. This location just opened a couple weeks ago. It’s a luxury to have a bakery like this in the neighborhood. I know I’ll be stopping by there all the time. Thinking about their croissant, lemon tart, brownie & baguette already! @tartinepasadena @tartinebakery
